Both cup and saucer have a four-lobed oval outline with curving sides. The cup has a harp-shaped handle with a kick at the lower end. Both are decorated with sprays of polychrome flowers and foliage, some outlined in black. On the cup a long leaf has been painted at the lip to the right of the handle to conceal a defect in the glaze. There are gold bands round the footrings and rims of the cup and saucer, and down the back of the handle.85referenceexhibition-2376adlib-exhibition-23763e2208a0-ad25-3b64-b03f-cb63aa00fd02Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the EnlightenmentC.9 & A-19511accession numberC.9 & A-195182453priref82453urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/82453https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/82453interlaced Ls enlosing a dot in blue enamelon base of saucerin blue enamelfactory markon base of saucerincisedaincised markreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by the Friends of the Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceagent-149645adlib-agent-14964510925b71-6838-30f7-a8dd-b68a2afaa14dThe Friends of the Fitzwilliam Museum195119511951-10-18givenEntry date: 1951-10-1817491749CE1749circa17491752Old catalogue slip dates the cup c. 1745-52.

Seven examples were mentioned in the inventory taken on the death of the director, Jean-Henry-Louis-Orry de Fulvy (3 May 1751), which was begun on 26 May 1751. The factory's stock inventory of 1 October 1752 listed thirty-five mediocre cups decorated with flowers and gold at 6 livres, and fifteen at 4 livres in the sale room. The form was derived from a quatrefoil Meissen cup and saucer produced in the 1730s, and for that reason was later described as a 'Tasse Saxe'.
The decoration on early examples was inspired by Meissen landscapes or floral decoration. This cup and saucer are painted in the Meissen Holzschnittblumen (wood-cut flowers) style, with black used for stems and contours of leaves of the floral sprays or sprigs. This style of decoration was used on various Vincennes forms such as toilet jars, chamber pots, teapots, mustard pots, and bottle coolers.
Examples similarly decorated with floral sprays and sprigs include a cup and saucer in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (19685 A & B) which has the same mark on its cup as on this saucer; a cup without a saucer in the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, County Durham (inv. no. X2307, from the Founders John and Josephine Bowes), and a handless cup and saucer is in the Belvedere Collection. Other types of decoration on this model included coloured grounds with landscapes, and Kakiemon patterns, such as an example in the Belvedere Collection.referenceterm-106496adlib-term-106496bd563695-7339-3178-a8c4-25189907099318th Century, Mid#referenceterm-15538adlib-term-15538e4001da7-ed48-3271-a6fb-c7f54095a1adLouis XVreferenceterm-113744adlib-term-113744da105475-9705-3ee7-94ad-24892e6217d4literalFranceFrancecountryliteralVal-de-MarneVal-de-MarneregionVincennesreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazereferenceterm-37637adlib-term-3763789b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecbsoft-paste porcelainreferencemedia-187291adlib-media-18729129cfa7ec-89b3-3221-9de0-8c684ea54f84jpegaa/aa30/C_9_26A_1951_8_201407_kly25_mas.jpg1heightpixels737widthpixels102416162462608301imagejpegaa/aa30/mid_C_9_26A_1951_8_201407_kly25_mas.jpg1heightpixels360widthpixels50016162462608301imagejpegaa/aa30/C_9_26A_1951_8_201407_kly25_mas.jpg1heightpixels737widthpixels102416162462608301imagejpegaa/aa30/preview_C_9_26A_1951_8_201407_kly25_mas.jpg1heightpixels180widthpixels25016162462608301image0media
